    The rockets won right? The cavs also barely lost to the bucks recently. 119-110. Should the bucks be worried?

    If Doncic or Antetokounmpo did this, the media would be setting the presses on fire.

    Just another day at the office for Harden. Media be like, meh, anybody can score 55 points nowadays

    James Harden deserves 4 MVPs, Shouldve been a 2 Time Champion (2015, 2018) Referees are obviously are trying to Protect LeBron James from a PR, Nike disaster, those Finals Cavs and LeBron James were overrated.

    Selling Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry Jerseys and Merchandise is more important to the NBA than Competition.

    Ha! Dennis Scott really glossed over the 5 free throws.

    "He...uh...got to the free throw line."

    You could tell that he was shocked that it was only 5 and he had to adjust on the fly.

    Harden is going to be a scoring icon by the time all is said and done.

    That's a cheap shot... But Schwarzeneggar, a guy that hung out with him, said he was cheap and never picked up his own tab if didn't have to pay.

    Yeah but their points about all the shots that Harden and Russ has to take to win his game is legit, the rest of the team/bench almost didn’t have the number of shots James took. That may work against a Cleveland (barely) but it isn’t going to work against the top tier teams. This team as constructed with its awful defensive lapses and cold shooting at times is a first round playoff exit imo.

    Give the team time, I think they will blow you away

    Frustrating game but Harden definitely put on a superman performance to make sure the Rockets don't lose

    To be fair, James is hunting for calls as well. He is the ultimate baiter and is damn good at it. I can understand certain fouls people get upset about, like when James hooks another guy's arm as he is going up for a shot. Those would drive me batshit crazy as an opponent and to be honest, I would love the NBA to get rid of those kind of calls.

    I find the arm hooking that James does similar to the BS Kevin Martin use to do when he would pump fake and then jump into his opponent. Just a total BS call.

    I love Wilt, and what Harden is doing is very comparable. Probably lots of metrics showing it's even more incredible, or at least on par.

    Now, if Harden just starts get 20 boards a game, we can talk. ;-)

    FWIW...Wilt played against lots of top competition, that he didn't is a myth. He just made all the others look bad...often including Bill Russell (he got his 55 rebounds against Bill). Kareen and Wes Unseld aren't even on that list, either. And not a white guy on it. ;-)

    No, its cuz its Harden, and he's ruining the NBA, donchaknow.
